In the last one week, I have seen enough and heard enough. First was the shocker about ..., and this alone came with so many other friends. You should understand that when you are in the Mr/Miss Right business, many other things are bound to be added to yu. The good Lord that I serve came to my rescue by assuring me that all that happened was orchestrated by Him and that He does not do what will not end up good for His children, but I still struggled to believe that. The most painful thing is that this major setback or heartbreak happened as a result of heeding God's instruction that I should be patient, and I just kept wondering how painful it is when you have to listen to God.

I need to confess that initially, i really struggled with this, considering that I was experiencing serious challenges in some areas at the same time. Out of everything, God has just been teaching me different lessons and the most important of all the lessons God has taught me in my trying period is that "He Makes All Things Beautiful In His Time."

This is the more reason why my heart has refused to break and it ha sactually come out better and stronger.

It's been quite a while that I actually blogged, but just decided to blog today so you guys will know that i'm alive and doing good. It's good to take a rest at some points in your life, and i guess i decided to give myself a break from blogging. I'm back and better. Watch out for an update of my activities over the months. God Bless Nigeria.

I have not posted anything for over a month now because of so many factors, ranging from a busy schedule to my inability to get a place to browse in some of the places I visited in the last six weeks. However, during the period of my absence from blogging, I had to go through a very serious and hurting learning process. Its just like a person who has devoted resources, energy and time into building a skyscraper and the building just crumbling in just a twinkle of an eye.

I had a lot of reasons to question God, but at the end of the questioning session, I just got a deeper understanding that all the so called energy that I put into the project is given by God and I can only do all these things because of His breath that is in me. That is why I wrote this poem just to tell my God that in my trying time, I will always trust the Lord and thank Him because He says all things work together of all that love Him.

O Lord, My God.O Lord, my GodAccording to the psalmist and my testimonyHow excellent is your name in all the earthO Lord, my GodBecause of who you are and what you've doneOnly you are worthy of my praise foreverO Lord, my GodNot because of how full or big my belly isBut because of your fullness that is in meBut my heart always leap for joyO Lord, my GodThough my physical body may look roughAnd ugly because of the stress of this worldMy soul delight in you because in my spiritI have your beautiful Spirit whose beautiful work from withinCover up my ugly outside and make people agree that i'm beautifulO Lord, my GodI just bless your name because in your loving kindnessYou have made me go through the fire without being burntAnd through the storm without being consumedHow excellent you truly are, my dear God.

In loving, I get hatredIn moving close, I get fartherI continue hoping and loving thoughEndlessly I continue to waitWaiting not for GodotBut for that timeThat I can finally shout EUREKATo the part of me that was removedTo create that masterpieceWhose presence makes productivity possible

In losing hope, I get closerJust as the 100m sprinter gets closer to the markI get closer to the promised landWhen fate and faith both combined to smile on meAnd lavish on me all the love that was far offMore importantly, the door begins to openAs the arrival of the one clothed with virtueLike the biblical Esther is envisagedOnly waiting for the full appearance of the bride in waiting.

All hail the arrival of the QueenWho will come and steal the heart of her charming princeCan someone please tell prince charming to ring the bellAnd the beautiful queen to answer the call of the bellBecause both of them have been destined for one anotherBy that Divine Being whose works can never be faultedAnd whom these two excellencies worship and revereThe wait is on, and the time is nearWhen that which has been ordained from aboveWill be manifested, that the whole world will see and rejoice.

Its been a very long time since I posted anything, I can say its as a result of my different adventures in the land of examination and entering into the land of productivity from there. Right now, I just finished or got to a very good level in my Ado-Ekiti assignment and moving to Lagos for a programme before doing so many other productive things. It is meant to be a month that starts with April fool, but my day on the first of April just reminded me that the month should not make me become a fool, but make my month full of testimonies and great results. It is already happening and my God tells me that the glory of the latter house shall be more than that of the former, so greater results are coming my way throughout this year.

What easily strikes anybody that hears this name is the legendary football player of Argentine origin. However, the name is now being used to describe not just very good footballers inb the mould of the great one, but others who actually may not have ever kicked the football. These are people with very questionable character and are always trying to paly games with people. It may not be alarming if these people are not in charge of decisions that are made, but a lot of times, they are the ones who dictate what.This write-up is as a result of certain things that happened to me and some other people around me between last week and now. When somebody asks for your help and ends up dribbling the helper into trouble. They have forgotten that "he who digs a pit for other people will end up in that same pit." I am not in anyway affected by the Maradona President that we have in our department, because right now people know who is licking his wounds.Whatever any Maradona tries to do, just know that once you are for the truth, it will never be a problem to state your case to people and not just stating, but letting them know the true situation of things. The hallmark of a great leader is standing for the truth even when the 'seen' and 'unseen' forces are trying to push you into falsehood.

Some days ago, the whole world clebrated what is meant to be love, popularly called Valentine's Day. It is however ironic that the day that is meant to be for love is the day that people assist in truncating the destiny of others just to satisfy their lustful feelings. This is not in any way what love is. The day has been so bastardized that I will be glad if there is nothing referred to as St. Valentine's day because it has over time become a day that naive young ladies are initiated into promiscuity.

The purpose of this blog is not to rubbish what love is, but to implore as many of us that God has helped to understand that true love does not mean sex, but true love is about caring for the next person, giving that person reason to live again. It may be in the place of time giving, material giving or just your smile.

Love is what makes the world go round and every human being who knows God will know that true love entails sacrifice. Just for the future of that young girl, kill your lustful desires and concentrate on how best you can help her grow. For the sake of that visionary young man, do away with your crave for material things and focus on how that young man has added more value to your live through his wise words and the time you were down and he stood by you.

He who knows God is meant to teach the world how to love, and not conforming to the world's definition of love. So many big pictures have been burnt to ashes just because of the decietful way that people show love. It is our responsibility to be the light that people will use to see. The greatest love is the love of sacrifice, let us teach giving more than recieving cos love is about giving when you don't expect anything in return.

As you show love to people, don't forget to love your country as well. God bless Nigeria.

They are supposed to learn, but incapacitatedThe children look up to mother hen for foodBut mother hen is not able to because it is always robbedUnfortunately, by some of your children. While more of the children are suffering, a few are enjoying themselvesThey have money dipped in blood to lavishDrops of sweat from some make others richWhile the sources of sweat drops are like donkeysWhose work rate is nothing compared to what he getsWhen will this stop? They cryThey drop sweat and tears laboring for their dear motherYet these few robbers sit in the lavishly furnished four-edged placeWith no faint spot of sweat, yet they get the goodies of others' sweatWhat shall we do then? Should we continue to work and die for others?Or should we fight to free ourselves from our brother-tormentorsEven if we die in the process, it's better to die for a causeThan for you to die in oppression and tortureThe decision lies in your hands.

Actually, it's not as if an attempt is being made by anybody to rape me and neither is any dog chasing me that requires me shouting for help. I am forced to cry out for help because the work on my head now is so much that it is annoying my loved ones who believe that maybe i'm becoming proud and I can't create time for them again "because you are now a star". I have tried over and over to explain to some of them, but the more I try, the less thay understand and it's beginning to affect me in a way that I never imagined.

I'm "concerned" because unlike a lot of you guys who have been caught up in the ship of partnership, i'm still in the partnership market and I don't want to send the potential buyer of my proposal away just because of the heavyu workload on my head. i am at a cross road of either reducing my commitments (which would be very difficult cos I derive joy in many of these things) in order to placate my loved ones, or just continue as if nothing is happening and focus on what i'm doing. I need the advice of the council of elders.

By the way, it's because of my very busy schedule that i've not been around for some time.

O legs, why have you refused to danceEven when the sound of the music is so beautifulO mouth, why have you refused to say amenWhen the prayers are being made on the altarO body, why hath thou failed to moveTo the rythm of the drumbeats all aroundO mouth, why hath thou turn frowning to thy companionEven when you are surrounded by laughing colleaguesMy heart has also failed to rejoice Though there is all to be happy aboutAll these because of my supposedly vanished loved treasureAlas! After a ring, the sound of my beloved treasure echoed in my earsOh! What kind of peace and joy I feel againThough kept away by distanceThe connection of the hearts bring us close to each otherAnd all that I could not do, i've started doingBecause my beloved treasure can still be treasured after all.
